In the evening, Li Zhengguo apologized to his daughter-in-law. He just wanted Zhang Fangcao to fulfill her last wish. He really didn't hide the matter from his daughter-in-law on purpose.
Tian Jing twisted his ears: "What else are you hiding from me? You received a call from your old lover and you didn't say anything?"
Li Zhengguo hurriedly complained: "Daughter-in-law, I didn't receive her call. I, I put a note in her last salary."
Tian Jing's hand twisted even more: "Okay, how dare you secretly leave her a note?"
Li Zhengguo pulled off the ear piece from his wife's hand that did not hurt, turned around and hugged her:
"I don't know if it's because I'm getting old. Looking back at the past, I feel that things I did back then were a bit too extreme."
"She doesn't have much time left, and we agreed to let her meet the four children."
Tian Jing said angrily: "Have you never aged?"
Li Zhengguo lowered his head: "I have grown old again. My heart has followed my body and I have grown old again."
"I wonder if I can meet you again next time after bidding farewell to this world."
"Let's get more familiar with each other's scent while we still have time."
Tian Jing, who was carried to bed by her husband and nibbled on her for half the night, pinched her in anger. Is this old?
Li Zhengguo still has a reason: "As people age, they don't age. I have to cooperate."
…
The next day, of course Tian Jing got up late.
Ouyang Meihua chuckled.
Tian Jing glared at her.
She also came over and said, "Your Village Chief Li is very capable."
"Bah!" Tian Jing spat at her: "Did you eavesdrop on the corner?"
"No, no, no." Ouyang Meihua shook her head: "Mr. Li got up to boil water and even got up to pour water in the morning. Everyone in the courtyard saw it."
Tian Jing covered her face.
Ouyang Meihua grabbed her hand and said, "If your Haohao family is successful, you can be a grandma."
"In the past, were there fewer mothers-in-law who were in confinement confinement with their daughters-in-law? It's human nature, don't be afraid, no one will say anything about you."
"Go!" Tian Jing pushed her: "Aren't you talking about me? You did it on purpose. I want to ask Village Chief Li to find his elder brother."
"No, no, no, no." Ouyang Meihua hurriedly begged for mercy, "I lied to you. No one saw Village Chief Li pouring water. Really, it's time for me to change Yuanyuan's diaper."
Looking at Ouyang Meihua who disappeared in the blink of an eye, Tian Jing was so annoyed that she had nowhere to vent her anger and could only finish the bowl of porridge.
…
The village divided the money lively.
Villagers went to the city to buy new year's goods and buy some electrical appliances that they had been coveting for a long time.
Li Zhengguo followed him into the city and bought four major items, including a color TV, refrigerator, washing machine and air conditioner.
Seeing the washing machine, Zeng Jingliang called out to Village Chief Li Gao Yi, knowing how difficult it was for him to wash clothes and diapers.
Li Zhengguo pushed one of the washing machines to him: "Move it to the backyard and use it alone for your daughter. What I feel bad about is that Yuanyuan's clothes and diapers are slow to dry. Why do I feel bad about your hands?"
Zeng Jingliang stretched out his hands covered with frostbite and asked Village Chief Li to help him lift them.
Ah Feng embarrassedly thanked Li Zhengguo because she had caused trouble to the second uncle of the Li family.
Li Zhengguo waved his hand: "Family, why are you saying these kind words? Take Yuanyuan to the second courtyard. Air conditioning will be installed here soon."
Ah Feng was even more embarrassed: "The room has a kang, so you don't need air conditioning, right?"
Li Zhengguo really felt sorry for the adults, "You don't need it, Yuanyuan does. Do you want her to stay on the kang all winter? Stop talking nonsense and take her out quickly."
Zeng Jingliang stretched out his hand to pack up his daughter: "Village Chief Li is right. Besides, he is pretending to be his house."
Ah Feng patted her husband lightly, which was too polite.
In addition to the time-consuming installation of the air conditioner, the washing machine and refrigerator only need to be tested.
As for color TV, haha, Village Chief Li scratched his head: "Mistake, next spring, the whole village will have cable TV."
"Please apply for tap water too."
Li Zhengguo agreed with Tian Jing's suggestion: "It just so happens that water is not convenient in the Hot Spring Valley. Let's build a large reservoir on the hilltop to the north of the Lake Valley."
Next year's plan was decided in a few words by Village Chief Li and Team Leader Tian.
…
On New Year's Eve, there was a quarrel in the courtyard.
Because three young people who have been away all year round are back.
Ouyang Meihua grabbed her eldest son: "You just came back today, when are you going to see your grandpa?"
Li Weiyan didn't want to make trouble with his mother during the Chinese New Year, so he said honestly: "Can we go on the second day of the Lunar New Year?"
Ouyang Meihua was also very straightforward: "Okay! Your grandpa is old and can't wait for you year after year."
The Li Weihao brothers quietly stayed with their grandmother and mother, helping their two favorite women.
Mother Li asked while chopping vegetables: "Haohao, after the New Year, Xiaofu will propose and get engaged. You will be 21 after the New Year. Do you have a girl you like?"
Li Weihao "..." It's no wonder that the brothers in the team don't like to go home and are faced with pressure to get married as soon as they return home.
"Grandma, I'm only twenty-five years old, so I won't plan on getting married. If grandma doesn't feel good about it, then you can just make a suggestion to me, and I'll just get married."
"Go! You naughty boy." Grandma Li spat at her eldest grandson: "You know very well that grandma will not ask you to get into a marriage without feelings, yet you still talk to me like this."
"If you don't want to look for her, just wait. The latest is twenty-five years old. If you don't look for her, grandma will actually look for you and marry her."
"Okay, okay." Li Weihao responded repeatedly.
Grandma Li turned to look at her third grandson: "Xiao Bo, what about you?"
Li Weibo "..."
He's only nineteen! It's all Brother Fu's fault.
So, after he replied "Just like big brother", he went to find trouble with his brother Fu.
Chen Fu was punched gently by his cousin. He didn't understand what his cousin was getting into.
Li Weibo was so angry that he hit Chen Fu so hard that it hurt, and then he reduced his strength:
"If you don't go out and work as a farmer at home, that's fine. We're not forcing you, right? But what should we do if you're in heat so early?"
Chen Fu held his cousin's fist: "Do you know how girly you are? You look like a coquettish little girl."
"Bah!" Li Weibo used his strength to lift Brother Fu up:
"Tell me, how should I hit you?"
My cousin easily lifted him, who weighed more than 100 kilograms?
Chen Fu quickly begged for mercy: "I was wrong, let me down."
After being put down, Chen Fu patted his chest. Only then did he realize how big the gap was between himself and his cousin.
No wonder my cousin has been a soldier for several years and has not come back. Now it seems that he may have to be a soldier for the rest of his life.
He arranged his clothes and sat down: "I know you must have been urged to get married. But don't ordinary people just make money and have children? I work very hard to be an ordinary person."
"Sophistry!" Li Weibo sat down opposite him: "You have learned bad things. The honest and dull Brother Fu is no longer here."
Chen Fu scratched his head: "I have to face all kinds of customers, so I can't do it if I don't learn a little bit."
The two cousins started talking about the business in Hot Spring Valley again.
Li Weibo admired his father very much. If it were him, even if he knew that Hot Spring Valley could attract tourists, he would not dare to borrow 10 million.
After Li Weihao helped pick vegetables, he was kicked out of the kitchen by his grandmother. As soon as he walked into his cousin's room, he happened to hear his second brother's emotion.
He patted his second brother on the shoulder: "I just hid for a few years about urging marriage. Have you ever thought about our parents' careers?"
